Whoopi Goldberg All Women Sports Network
Whoopi Goldberg is turning her childhood dreams into a powerful reality with the launch of AWSN (All Women Sports Network), the first global television network dedicated exclusively to women’s sports.
Whoopi’s Why For AWSN
Growing up, Goldberg was often sidelined in her quest to participate in sports, but now she’s using her platform to give female athletes the recognition they deserve. With a goal to correct the imbalance in sports representation, AWSN will feature live coverage of women’s sports from around the world, including soccer, basketball, tennis, and more. With a rapidly expanding reach, Goldberg’s initiative promises to revolutionize the way the world views women in sports.
Though her personal sports career did not materialize, Goldberg’s trajectory as an actress, TV host, and entrepreneur has positioned her to elevate women’s sports on a global scale. Her latest endeavor, the All-Women Sports Network (AWSN), aims to champion female athletes and provide a long-overdue platform for their achievements.
What is AWSN
AWSN is set to become a game-changer in sports media. Described as the first global network solely dedicated to women’s sports, it will air live events across 65 countries. “If a woman is playing it, we’re showing it,” Goldberg told Fallon, listing sports like soccer, basketball, tennis, and even curling. The network promises comprehensive coverage of women’s athletics, making AWSN a hub for fans and a platform for athletes seeking greater visibility.
AWSN’s Vision
Goldberg aims to rectify the longstanding imbalance in sports representation. “It’s about giving female athletes the spotlight they deserve,” she said. The network’s mission is not just about broadcasting games but also creating a space where women’s sports can thrive and inspire future generations.
In addition, Goldberg envisions a future where female athletes enjoy the same cultural touchstones as their male counterparts, such as having their own trading cards. This move could further normalize and celebrate women’s contributions to sports.
A Fast-Growing Presence
AWSN is already making waves. It has launched in key regions, including Asia, the Middle East, and India through partnerships like JioTV. Goldberg teased a major U.S. expansion announcement, signaling that AWSN’s growth trajectory is just beginning. The network is available in 65 countries and aims to showcase the incredible talent and achievements of female athletes across various sports.
